Mu' meneen Brothers and Sisters,

As Salaam Aleikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Barakatuh. (May Allah's Peace, Mercy and Blessings be upon all of you)

One of our brothers/sisters has asked this question:

Please tell me where is the grave of our first prophet Adam Alaysalam.

(There may be some grammatical and spelling errors in the above statement. The forum does not change anything from questions, comments and statements received from our readers for circulation in confidentiality.)

Answer:

Grave of adam

In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His Messengers.

Although there are many claims regarding the grave of the Prophet Adam (a.s.), there is absolutely no confirmation or authentication in the Glorious Quran or the authentic or established Sunnah regarding the exact location or even the significance of the grave of Hadrat Adam (a.s.).

If the location or the significance of the grave of Hadrat Adam (a.s.) was essential for the guidance of mankind or the believers to the Truth, Allah and His Messenger (saws) would surely have made it known to the believers.

Allah Subhanah Alone Knows the exact location of the grave of Prophet Adam (a.s.) on this earth.

Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is the Only Source of Strength.

Your brother and well wisher in Islam,

Burhan
